User Reviews

Pros: mission-driven platform with GPS, photos, and volunteering/transcription options; cons: login issues, usability problems, slow uploads with high battery use, weak search in large cemeteries, and instability; overall, strong potential hampered by UX and reliability gaps.
Pros
  • Important mission to preserve cemetery history; volunteers can contribute by photographing and transcribing.
  • GPS/location features help locate burial sites and show headstone images, aiding finding relatives.
  • Easy to use and offers multiple ways to get involved (photos, transcription, volunteering).
  • Public benefit by recording cemeteries nearby and helping future generations.
Cons
  • Login/account issues (wrong password and password reset problems).
  • Poor UX/UI and navigation (white-on-white text, placeholders that aren’t real links, hard-to-find features).
  • Uploading is slow and battery-draining; app must stay open to upload; occasional upload failures.
  • Search/findability in large cemeteries is difficult (lots of scrolling; hard to type in targets).
  • Stability issues and platform bugs (crashes/kicks-out; not working well on iPad).

I found the Billion Graves app on the Just Serve app a couple weeks ago. It is so interesting who to the cemeteries. There are so many in my area that need photos taken. It’s easy to use. Just taking photos like you normally would.

There are many things to like about building Graves. Their GPS is fairly good although I’ve gone to one cemetery and looked for the gravesite and it says I’m standing but it’s not there. I have a paid subscription and I have to watch. Let the app has me as advanced rather than basic. This causes a lot of wasted time and grief if you are advanced, it should leave that alone. If you’re standing in the cemetery and asked for directions, it should figure out where you are and not give you directions from your home.

Great software, great mission protecting the history that is rapidly disappearing. Multiple ways to get involved. Give it a try!
